Vitveet...Yeah, I could see a few tweaks to the equipment offered in the car and maybe some minor tweaks here and there but overall, I don't expect major changes to this car for the foreseeable future, and especially if my prediction that this will be a 3 year car before they bring the new platform and 4G IS. For example, in Canada, the sunroof is not available on the 500....I could see that changing either in 2023 or 2024....That is a change that wouldn't require Lexus to invest any changes because they already make IS with sunroof available. For the HUD, that would require them to develop a new dash to account for the HUD unit, I doubt that would make it on the 500 but I could be wrong.

Hello CL! Been lurking for a little bit since I put the deposit down on my IS500! Thanks for all the info you guys have provided - seems like an amazing community to be a part of!
Picked this lovely lady up on Tuesday earlier this week - This is my first Lexus and it is INCREDIBLE. Traded in a 2020 STI for it.

^^ I think a fella Canadian is getting something exactly the same....USB with white interior. I haven't seen any photo updates yet of his either - I may be dreaming but I am sure we saw pics of his car at the dealer lot?? TooDeep, can you confirm if you took possession and how you are loving the combo so far?

The stock hood is actually surprisingly light!

It could be worse. I average 15mpg on my M2C with a lousy 13.7 gallon tank.

Flipside, I love the historical value (and candy store pictures) you bring to this thread. Simply awesome! I'm guessing there's just a handful of us, myself not included, who possess this knowledge but it's so great to learn about. Thank you!

^^ I couldn't agree with you more - I don't have a lot of history on Lexus since I only joined the brand in 2015 but it is amazing to have so many amazing contributors to this forum like flipside, Sasnuke to just name a few.
Now I beg to differ on the candy store picture, that award goes to TipsyTonio (lol)
